The Vanessa White Fund

Applications are welcome from any young person or their leaders in the South West Region where financial support is needed in order for them to engage in DofE programmes.  The fund is in certain circumstances also able to assist leaders working with disadvantaged young people.

A letter of application to be sent to:  The Vanessa White Fund, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Court Gatehouse, Corsham, Wiltshire SN13 OBZ

We have a small trust fund available to young leaders and participants from the Bath area and surrounding area. If you are a young leader undertaking expedition training/qualifications and need some help with funding or if you are a DofE participant who needs help with funding a service project or expedition then why not apply.

The Norman Family Charitable Trust

This fund is administered by the SW Regional Office on behalf of the Norman Family Charitable Trust to support young people undertaking DofE programmes in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Funds are limited, so we may not be able to help everyone who applies, but if anyone would like to apply for a grant, please write to Catherine McCulloch in the SW regional Office. The successful applicant will be asked to submit a short report on the venture upon their return, but please don't let this put you off as it doesn't need to be anything fancy!
